A bloody disgrace and no-one to blame but pootin and his filthy mercenary cockroaches. The sin that people through no fault of their have to live and suffer through the machinations of a lunatic and his minions.

The Russification of Donbas began in the 1930s — my dad was forcibly expatriated to Novosibirsk with his family from his natal town of Hrysheno (later re-named “Krasnoarmiisk”). His family home on Frunze st. was confiscated, and eventually, a family from Russia was moved in by Stalin. NOT TRUE that Eastern Ukraine has “always” been full of Russian nationals. I say: If people “feel Russian” in Ukraine, they should register as foreign nationals, NOT vote in elections, or move back to their beloved “Russia” — the largest country in the world, lest we forget.
